The hail wasn't quite golf-ball size, but not too far off. We now have a wintry scene in the back yard, except it's all hail rather than snow. The storm didn't hit us directly, either, which is ok as far as I'm concerned.

Late yesterday afternoon the sky looked like it was a/b to split open and rain down fire and brimstone. Flash flood warnings on my iPhone and the TV through much of the night. Yet nary a drop ever fell. A few distant lighting flashes and a faint rumble here and there. Go figger…

A lot of damage in the Philly. Most of the cars had front & back windshield damage as well as dents all over the cars. Is hail damage considered an Act Of God & not covered through auto ins - comp coverage?

The hail damaged mall roofs & the malls that have skylights, the hail crashed through & damaged the mall walkways & displays.

A few homes were damaged as well. Act of God through homeowners ins too?

The hail were the size of golf balls & oranges.

Camden County didn't even get any rain! Matter of fact during Philly's hail storm, the sun was out in Camden Co.

One of the suburban malls here had to evacuate cause the roof was damaged. Another had the skylight damage that you're describing in Philly. By comparison, my city was spared the worst. On the other hand, the first storm here struck just as schools were letting out. Poor kids!

I was right on the border area where the five inches of rain fell in about three hours. What a mess up here! The farm fields are now over the roads and in people's yards.

We seldom get hail here, maybe once every few years, usually pea-sized stuff.

We did get quite a storm in June of '07 with golf-ball/quarter-sized hail. My car was in the parking lot at work. $8500.00 worth of damage. The insurance company fixed it, $200 deductible on comprehensive.

We'd asked the insurance company if we could get money to repair the paint on two sides of the house. There must have been some rotation in the storm, because it was coming from the south-west, but the paint damage was on the north and east of the house.

The adjuster came out and we had checks totaling $18,000.00 within a few weeks. They said we needed lots of new stuff, including a new roof. We were only asking for $1400.00.

It was amazing to see the ground completely covered with hail, just as if it had snowed. It must have been warm, because I remember little streams in the street as it melted.

I don't care if I ever see another hail stone!

Probably covered if one has Comprehensive coverage. If Liability only probably not. I don't think a god matters. It's all business.
